No forced changes this week after a clean bill of health against Sydney and ruckman Will Minson successfully challenging a stomping charge, making him available to play this Sunday against the Cats.

Adam Cooney got through the game unscathed and is likely to back up again this week — whether he will don the green vest again is a topic that will be hotly discussed in match committee.

Liam Jones has been a solid contributor at Williamstown and might be in line for a recall as well as Jarrad Grant who was ultra clean with his ball use in blustery conditions last week — he will also come into contention.

Recent retiree Ryan Hargrave is available for selection after serving a one-match suspension, and first round draftee Christian Howard rebounded extremely well at Williamstown on the weekend.

Rookies Lin Jong and Jason Johannisen had good games against Sydney and will look retain the spots in the senior side for another week.

With Jordan Roughead relishing the role as a key defender, and Lukas Markovic getting through his comeback game without a hitch, Brian Lake might be used as a forward as he has done in bursts recently.

Liam Picken will most likely play a negating role on Cats captain Joel Selwood with Easton Wood a probable match-up for Steve Johnson after a commendable job on dual Brownlow medallist Adam Goodes on Sunday.
